Visions Of Sugar Plums

Happy Sunday Everyone! Today I am playing with this totally adorable sequin mix from Sparkle Blends called Hello Frosty! This is absolutely a perfect winter mix and so much fun to use with everything winter! I am also playing with the Winter Wonderland  kit from Queen and Company for my snowglobe, stamps and dies and an older 6x6 paper pad from Queen and Company called All Bundled Up.There is also a little bit of Copic coloring on there as well and some additional dies from Lawn Fawn and from Stamps Of Life. So take a look at what I came up with.

 

I really love how perfect this blend is for all things Winter and how well it works with the dancer in the snowglobe!

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites from the November release. Ok, they are ALL fabulous so maybe grab them all while they are still available!

May You Never Be Too Grown Up...

Are you ready to get started on those holiday cards? For me it is definitely time. So check out todays holiday shaker card!

First I am using Classic Crest Natural White 110 pound cardstock for my card base. I have cut my cardstock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and then scored and folded at 4 1/4" to create the card base. Next I am using Stardream Metallic Silver Cardstock to cut a 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inch card mat. Next I am cutting Habanero Cardstock to 5 1/4  4 inches to create the next mat. Next I am cutting Bonsai Green Canvas Textured Cardstock to 5 x 3 3/4 inches to create the next mat. I have then adhered these with Scor Tape.

For these next steps I used a shaker card kit from Queen and Company called Winter Wonderland. From this kit I used the foam shapes and acetate for my shaker as well as the dies for the trees, the Santa in his sleigh and the snowglobe itself. The snowglobe frame was cut from the same Habanero Cardstock. The trees are cut from the same Bonsai Green Canvas Textured Cardstock, the Santa in the sleigh with the reindeer is cut from Pop Tone Black Licorice Cardstock, and the sentiment, which was stamped with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black, was stamped onto the same Classic Crest Natural White 110 pound cardstock and die cut. The pattern paper also comes from the kit.and finally the shaker bits are from a Sparkle Blends sequin mix called Minter Is Coming. 

And of course, I adhered it all together with Scor Tape.

 I really love how this turned out. I do hope you like this project and as always, I can't wait to see what you create!

Happy Halloween!!!!!!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!!

I am playing with Sparkle Blends Jack O Lantern. This is really THE perfect blend for today no matter how you are celebrating. And it is perfect for all those great Halloween pictures too!!!!

For this project I used not only our Sparkle Blends but also this fun set from Clearly Besotted called Creepy Corners. I did use my MISTI with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink to stamp my images and my Copic markers to color this up. I then did use acetate and 1 inch wide scor tape to create my infinity shaker and there you have it!

I really love how perfect this blend is for all things Halloween and really all things fall, and the Infinity Shaker really lets the light bounce through all the sparkles.

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites from the October release. Ok, they are ALL fabulous so maybe grab them all while they are still available! And as always, take a look on the Doodles Paper Playground blog, Facebook page and in the Sparkle Blends Fan Club on Facebook to see all the fun things going on!

Hi Everyone! For your Wednesday pleasure, Friends Don't Give Friends Fruitcake!

I am playing with Sparkle Blends Merry and Bright. And what I love about this blend is that it is a non traditional blend for the holidays. I will definitely need more of this one to be sure, because it works so well for so many different ideas around the holidays. 

With this I have used All Bundled Up 6x6 paper pad along with dies from North Pole Kit all from Queen and Company, along with some circle dies from The Stamps Of Life to present to you this fun holiday card!

For my project today I am bringing you this super cute Halloween Treat Box! I am using a bas die from The Stamps Of Life called handlebox die. I have used Pop-Tone Black Licorice Cardstock for my box base. I have then used a purple patterned paper from a fabulous cardstock pack called Premium 6x6 Assorted Dots And Stripes Discount Card Stock Paper. Then I stamped out these cute monsters and die cut them from another stamp and die set from The Stamps Of Life called monsters4celebrations. To keep this super easy to mass produce, I stamped my monsters on Pop-Tone Orange Fizz Cardstock, Bonsai Green Canvas Textured Cardstock, and Pop-Tone Grape Jelly Cardstock, and then die cut the monsters. I used Scor Tape to attach my monsters and my cardstock layers. And as a final touch, I added some washi tape from Doodlebug. Super cute and easy!

 I do hope you like this project. Super quick and easy to make! So next head on over to the very talente Maureen.

I can't wait to see what you create!

Ever Wonder How To Create A Wreath Card?

 Have you ever wondered how to create a wreath card? There are some wonderful wreath builder products out there, but I don't have one of those, and maybe you don't either? Let me show you how!

First I am using Royal Sundance Felt Brilliant White Cardstock for my card base. I have cut my card base to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and then scored and folded at 4 1/4" to create the card base. Then I went into my stash and found a circle die that I am using to draw a circle just with a pencil. What is really helpful about this is you can position your circle precisely so that when your card is finished, your wreath will be in the position you want. 

I then used a sentiment stamp from Clearly Besotted called Ring Around Autumn and stamped it on my card base with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

From this point, you can then work your way around the circle. If you are stamping you can use this as a reference to stamp your images. But for this project I decided to use some of the gorgeous CutCardstock cardstocks with fall leaf dies to create my wreath. I am using the following cardstocks: Pop-Tone Orange Fizz Cardstock, Stardream Metallic Gold Cardstock, Pop-Tone Wild Cherry Cardstock, Bonsai Green Canvas Textured Cardstock, Stardream Metallic Punch Cardstock. 

If you take a look, you can see the way the light catches on the metallic cardstocks, and you can also see the textures and that gives this so much depth.

I really love how this turned out. I do hope you like this project and as always, I can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs,

Judy
